1) both posts I made were before the release of the review... so if I sofend up (which I didn't) it's still prior to the review release. Look at the date posted, no edits son. (the first post may have even been before I sold my Cube)

2) Why would I care if they put an old as dirt game on it? I haven't played Metroid in more than 10 years.... if I want to play it again I could just download the Rom. :)

3) If you are wondering, I am in fact getting a cube again in q1 2003 (that is assuming Cel-da is still released then, and assuming it gets great reviews)... yep, that would be my second Cube... sitting along side my third Ps2... anything to help the game industry ;)

Would multiplayer even be fun with auto aim, without strafing, without 20+ weapons... capich?

I think I'm gonna get this game for Xmas now...everyone is saying thats its very good...and it sounds pretty good to me, although I'm not a big fan of fps's...this game seems to be an adventure more than an fps...

i'm pre-buying tonight, i just have this feeling that i'll like it. everywhere i look i see some game journalist giving it oustanding scores, and one of my buddies at another forum is a game journalist for a small company in japan (i believe), hes mainly an RPG man (like myself) and he said that MP was probly the best game hes ever played, which is wierd cuz the last time he said that was when he first played Chrono Cross.

(I didn't notice this post before)

The funny part about these 9.8 or higher scores... I know plenty of people who don't like these games. In my opinion:

Over rated:
Tony Hawk 2 (DC)
Tony Hawk (DC)
Soul Caliber (DC)
Gran Turismo 3 (Ps2)
Metal Gear Solid (Psx)
Super Mario 64 (N64)
Conkers Bad Fur day (N64)
Perfect Dark (N64)

This isn't to say I didn't like these games... well I didn't like Soul Caliber, SM64, and MGS.... but I'm just saying I personally would have rated them nearly that high. But I guess that makes me retarded, according to D-Real

SM64 is not over rated.. it like changed the whole industry :unsure:

Well I agree about the tony hawks, and GT3 being over rated...but I think MSG desevred that score...in fact would even say that it was better than MGS2...,SM64 was cool ( although it didn't hold my interest)...SC was one of the best 3d fighting games I have ever played so I think it deserved that score because with all the other 3d fighting games it always felt like a chore to make the fighter strafe in 3d...plus I had tons of fun playing the game. :D

Right, I just had to add my two cents.

Metal Gear Solid is the only game that deserves a 9.8 or higher......it's the greatest game ever created IMO...

wow... when I played it I could never get past the fact that I suck as video games :D

but that was years ago.... I have grown much stronger in my gaming skills

*forgets how to use save point in FFX*

DO'H!

I would have gave it in the 9s for graphics alone..... the gameplay was decent and ground-breaking. But, I wouldn't have given it a 9.8.... my opinion is low 9s.

Gameplay was ground breaking..
Graphics for their time were crazy... at least thats how i felt when i was like 9 :unsure:
Cant remember how good the sound was
The menus and stuff were cool

The only place i could see it siffering was Lasting appeal :unsure: but it kept me busy for a while getting all 120 stars.. but i was 9.. so it took me long to do that :p

I got just enough Stars to beat Bowser, and didn't touch it again.... in fact, in the time I got those stars I was so on-and-off with the game it took a good 6 months. :D

When I beat it I was just bored, so I sat down and just decided that I was going to flip that game over the weekend...

Hmm that's how I beated Pikmin. Although I did get all the items.

I still can't believe how CBFD got a 9.8... :unsure:

Me want Metroid Fusion too!

I feel bad.... I already have metroid fusion... :(... im such a bad kid
someone stole it from cube club and put it up on the net...

I'm going to have to scramble for more money for Fusion... If I don't get it with Prime I will not be as happy as I could be. :D

It's like... Christmas in November!
